NONEY - MARKET AND COMAMRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market continues to receive a large number of applications for monetary assistance, but the supply of capital afloat remains abundant. Brokers, however, still evince much caution in their negotiations, becanso they believe that affairs are yet in a state of transition. The terms, therefore, required for granting accommodation show no material change. Within the past day or two a alight concession has been made, by taking short• dated paper with bankers' acceptance at 81 per cent., but the general rate remains at Eq per cent. Ab)ut .£13,000 in (yid, principally French, was taken into the Bank yest€rlay. The Poonah, which left to-day for India and Chita, conveyed £147,984 iu specie. During the past few days there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugars have barely sustained former prices.

Tallow has been in moderate request. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 425 9d, 42a 6d; and last three months' delivery, 433 91 per owt. Two o'CLocK.

MARLBOROUGH STREET. DISORDERLY CONDUCT AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE —Mr. Herbert Hampson, dentist, of No. 7, Dorset-square, Regent's-park,was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly at Her Majesty's Theatre. Mr Herring, jun., appeared for the prisoner. George Meekings, 233 H, deposed that, about a quarter past 11 o'clock the previous night, he was on duty in the promenade at Her Majesty's Theatre,when he saw the pri- soner and two other gentlemen and three females appa rently coming from the refreshment department at the back of the Orchestra. He saw the prisoner strike one of the females and knock her down. He told the prisoner not to behave in such a violent manner, and some of the others picked the female up. The prisoner then behaved in a very violent manner, and said he would knock any one down who came near him. As the prisoner was drunk and re fused to be quiet, he was obliged to take him into custody. Inspector Kettle, A division, proved hearing the prisoner having high words with one of the females, and hearing a fall. He after% atds saw a female picked up, and heard the prisoner saying to one of the females, " You --, knock you down." The prisoner also threatened to knock him (the inspector) down. _ _ In answer to Mr Herring, jun., the inspector said it was the first night of the concerts, but there was no general disturbance. The females used bad language to the prisoner. The female did not charge the prisoner with assaulting her, Mr Herring, jun., addressed the magistrate on the priso. nor's behalf. Mr Tyrwhitt said it was one of those disgraceful scenes which frequently occurred, and that if the woman had at tended to give evidence the prisoner would have found him self in a very different position. The prisoner was then fined 40s. or a month's imprison ment. The business of the court did not commence till nearly an hour after the proper time—ten o'clock. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE AT A TAVERN.—John Hibbert, a man who is stated to be well known to the police, was charged with the following gross and dangerous acts of wilful damage. A respectable woman, living near the Globe Tavern, Cross-street, Chelsea, said that she saw the prisoner last night near her yard, and he left in the direction of the Globe with half a brick in his hand. By the time he could have reached the Globe she heard a smash. 81i } Two other witnesses were called. It was clearly shown by their evidence that the defendant was the person who had thrown the brickbat through the window of the Globe Tavern. He then ran into a yard and concealed himself. Mr Calver, the proprietor of the Globe Tavern, said that his family had been plticed in the most imminent danger by this wanton and disgraceful attack. He was sitting at his supper last night at 10 o'clock, when he heard a dreadful crash, and found that a large pane of plate glass of consi. deiable value in the front of the house had been broken by a brickbat. This missile had been:thrown with so much force that it also carried away part of the gas burner and vent to the remoto end of the bar parlour. Had ho or his wife beeen standing in their usual place between the bar and parlour they might have been killed. Mr Selfe asked whether the defendant had been to the house last night ? I Mr Calver replied he had not. Business don, Imo} 991 Mr Selfe inquired the supposed reason for this outrage. Mr Calver explained that tho defendant and some oom panions had come to his house for the express purpose of insulting him some time ago, when, in consequence of there offensive conclog, he ordered them out of the house. D,fendant dtmied the offence. 1 7 01 Mr Selfe—lt has been clearly proved, and I shall commit you for six weeks to hard labour in the House of Correction. THAMES. EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF PLUNDER.—Three men, named Benjamin Russell, William Byerman or Bearman, and David Fitzgerald, were brought before Mr Paget, charged, the two first with stealing, and the third with receiving, knowing to be stolen, upwards of seven tons of animal char coal, valued at £lOO, the proper of Lewis Cowan and Sons, soap-makers, sugar-refiners, an(animal charcoal manufac turers, Barnes, Surrey, and Wapping, Middlesex. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, defended Fitzgerald ; Mr Gomar, from the office cf Mr Hodgson, solicitor, defended Byerman. Mr Cowan, jun., said that Byerman and Russell had worked for the firm. There had been an alarming deficiency of stock. He believed as much as 100 tons of animal char coal, valued at £l4 per ton, had been stolen. Russell left the service of the firm a week ago. Inspector Thomas Clark, of the Thames Police, stated that, at four o'clock on Monday morning he saw Russell in a barge laden with animal charcoal off Wapping. Beyer man stepped out of another barge into the one in which the charcoal was, and navigated her down the river. At Rack wall the prisoner Russell placed the barge con!aining the charcoal alongside the Guaranteed Manure Company's wharf. Russell left the barge and went on shore. Weights and sales were lowered iato the barge, and men came and commenced working the charcoal on shore. Fitzgerald was at the head of a gang of workmen superintending their operations. He went up to Fitzgerald and asked him for whom he was receiving the stuff, to which he replied, from the lighterman. He askel Fitzgerald if his employers had given him orders to receive the stuff, and the answer was, no. He had previously seen four or five bags of animal charcoal landed from the barge. lie afterwards took Fitz gerald into custody for receiving the animal charcoal, well knowing it to be stolen. William Adams, a Thames Police-constable, No. 27, said that he saw Beyerman at Execution Dock, Wapping, on Monday morning. Beyerman asked him if he had seen a waterman named Burwood, and then had some con versation with Russell on the prosecutor's charcoal barge. He and the Inspector Clark then followed the barge to Blackwall. When Russell was taken into custody on Mon day afternoon, he said "I have been drawn into this by the foreman Beyerman." George Roberts, Thames police-constable No. 46, said he took Beyerman into custody on the Plough-wharf ,Black wall, and upon telling him the charge, he said, "I did not steal the charcoal; I am merely the seller." Mr Charles Young or id ho had a very short but decisive answer to make for Fitzgerald, who was a respectable, honest man, 6 years of age, and merely received the goods by order of his employers, and did not know they were stolen. . . Mr Henry Honester Worth, of No. 30, Chester-place, Kennington-cross, said he was in the service of Messrs H. W. Goole and Co., proprietors of the Guaranteed Manure Company's Wharf, Blackwall. He had managed the business. He had known Beyerman as W. G. Wilson for nine months. A fortnight ago he gave Beyerman an order for six or seven tons of charcoal. The price was to be £3 15s per ton. He had dealt with Beyerman as W. G Wilson for charcoal. It was the duty of Fitzgerald, as foreman of the wharf, to receive the barge load of charcoal. Mr Cowan said that the charcoal was worth £l4 per ton, and, according to the evidence of the witness Worth, it was purchased for £3 15s per ton, a little more than a fourth of its value. Mr Charles Young said the Messrs Goole were in a large way of business. Mr Cowan, jun.—And buying our charcoal at £3 15s per con. There are 300 tow; of charcoal on Goole's premises— the Guaranteed Manure Company's Wharf. I hopo none of the charcoal will be removed while this case is pending. It is a matter of the most serious importance. Mr Paget—Messrs Goole will no doubt assist the police in this case. None of the charcoal must be removed. Mr Cowan, jun.—There are 300 tons of animal charcoal on Goole's premises—we have been robbed to an alarming extent. Mr Paget then remanded the prisoners until Tuesday next, taking one surety in the sum of £lOO for Fitzgerald's appearance. His master, Mr Goole, bailed him. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS.

The two years old races on the Continent are but few, the only events of that description until the present advanced period of the season being a sweepstakes at Chantilly in the spring, the Prix de la Ville at Moulins, and the Prix de l'Avenir at Baden. With a race for two and three years old horses, also at the last-named place. For that reason the first day of the Autumn Meeting at Chantilly is looked forward to with some interest, the two Criteriums, one for two years old col a, and the other for fillies of the same age!, generally bringing out some of the best produce of their year. Such was the case yester d ay , and, notwithstan din g the threatening aspect of the weather, which settled down into an almost continued rain throughout the afternoon, a considerable number of persons were on the ground. The business com menced with a r ace for 4 - yr.olds, for which favour was ab ou t e qua lly divided betwee n Nobilit y and Guillaume-le-T ac it urne. Mr C ar ter's mare had , how ever, to give the St a dth o l der seven pounds, in addition to the sex's allowance, a s a penalty for previous winnings ; this was just sufficient t o d ecide the ra ce, as Nobility, after leaking the running throughout, was beaten at the stands by half a length. The cat's 2 Ir - o ld race followed, and brought our 14 starters, the Duke de Molly's West Aus tralian colt Clermont, th e w i nner o f the Prix de l'Avenir and Prix de Carlaruhe a t B a d en , being favo urite at t he short odds of five to four, w hi c h h o tting was proved to be correct, by his winning by a length. The Prix de Sylvie, a selling race, came next, the winner, M. Aumont's Dame Blanche being bought in by her owner for 4000 f, one half re verting to the race fund. The fillies' 2-yr-ol . race same next, and was won, after a very pretty contest, in which seven of the horses ran abreast over a great part of the ground, and to within a short distance of the judge's chair, when A. Dalamarre's Anecdote, a half sister to Cantoanade and Rouis Roussel, came out and passed first by a length. Neither Clermont nor Anecdote is engaged in the Grand Prix de Paris of 1865. Anecdote is entered for both Derby and Oaks of next year, but not the Duke de Mercy's horse. rho business terminated with the great Chantilly prize of 10,000 fr., which was naturally looked upon . as a certainty ; the former hhennwon the Prix for Vermouth, and the more so when it became known hat neither Dollar, Fille-do-l'Air, nor Stradella would start. M. Delamarre's horse was not, however, allowed to walk ever for the money, as, among . others, G &leen were e t h e broughteprispring, , w against hen tie Longchamps at Paris, and was said to have vastly mproved since then; when Baronello, the winner of ho Trial Stakes at the . same meeting, but whose uncertain tia ti d d n ß o a t ro r n u o n llo sha w c temper had always since e wtth destroyedawhatever. chances he may have had, was started in fresh jockey, who, it was might be more successful _ hoped, .overcoming his fracti with a ousness. Ge d ecn got away clear lead, and tried Vermouth's tactics of cutting down, ll but after running two. thirds of the distance wade d c l eer ead of about ten lengths, he suddenly broke down lia w am as e, and was with difficulty led off the course.

Thomas Turapenny was indicted with feloniously inter marrying with Charlotte Shepherd, his first wife being then alive. The prosecutrix was engaged as nursemaid opposite to where the prisoner was employed, and an acquaintance sprung up between them, the prisoner representing himself as a single man. He made various excuses about intro ducing the prosecutrix to his friends, but eventually it took plaoe. Some time after the prosecutrix met the prisoner tilking to another woman, and on her going up to them she discovered then the woman was the first wife of the prisoner. He had not ill-treated either of the women. The jury found him guilty, and the learned judge Ben .euced him to twelvemonths' imprisonment, STEALING ♦ MONEY ORDER. Edwin May, 30, clerk, was indicted with stealing a letter containing a Post-office order for £l. The letter came ii.to the prisoner's possession in the course of the discharge of his duty, but it was urged in his defence that being in great want he was induced to appropriate the letter. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. STEALING A LETTER. Edward Richards, letter carrier, was indicted with steal ing a letter, the property of the Postmaster-General. There were some circumstances connected with the case, which rendered it somewhat doubtful, but the jury found the prisoner guilty of receiving the letter, fc.3. The Recorder sentenced him to 9 months' imprisonment ASSAULTING A TICKET COLLECTOR, Patrick Flynn, Bartholomew Flynn, and Thomas Nagle, three Irishmen, were indicted with assaulting Arenburg, a ticket collector on the South Eastern Railway, and George 06borne, a polic , .-constable in the same service. From the evidence it appeared that the three prisoners on the night of Sunday, Aug. 23, at about half past 11 came to the Deptford station and asked some ques ions relating to the trains. They were informed that the last train had left, and then Nagle produced a third class ticket and asked if it would be available for the next day. They were told not, and he (Arenberg) advised them to go to New cross, where it was likely they would get a conveyance to London. They, however, commenced a disturbance, and Arenburg desired them to leave the station. This they refused to do, and one of the prisoners commenced an attack on Arenburg, Bartholomew Flynn taking hold of him and threw him down on the pavement with great force. On recovering himself Arenburg called Osborne to his assist ance, when one of the prisoners attempted to bite the col , stable. After some difficulty the prisoners were taken into custody. Arenburg, it was discovered, had sustained such severe injuries that he had been incapacitated from perform- ing his duties ever since. The Recorder told the jury that he did not think the evidence was sufficient to justify them in returning a ver dict against Patrick Flynn and Nagle for the assault on the prosecutor, Arenberg. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty of the first count against Bartholomew Finn only, but guilty against all three with respect to the assault on the police constable. The Recorder told Bartholomew Flynn he had acted with great violence, and therefore he should sentence him to 12 months' imprisonment. Patrick Flynn and Thomas Nagle were sentenced to three months. THE MURDER OF MR. BRIGGS.—Mr Humphrey the coroner, resumed his inquiry into the circumstance! attending the death of Mr Thomas Briggs, at the Town• hall, Hackney. The proceedings consisted entirely of a repetition of the evidence adduced at Bow-street, yester day, and which appeared in full in our early edition. The facts of the case, as far as they are at present known, have been so frequently published that a repetition of them on the present occasion would be a perfect waste of time. The excitement occasioned by the terrible affair is happily dying out, although a few interested persons are exerting therr selves to maintain it. ART EXHIBITION ON BEHALF OF THE COTTON DISTRICM—The treasurers of the "Art Exhibit on for the Relief of the Distress in the Cotton Districts " have issued a balance-sheet, showing the receipts and expenses in connexion therewith, from which it aprears that the large sum of £2,550 was realised and paid over to the objects of the charity. The amount received for pictures, drawings, objects of art, &c., including catalogues and ad • missions at, the door, was £3,008 2s. 7d. The disbursements were £5OO, given to the Relief Emigration Fund; three sums of £5OO, and ono of £5O, to the Central Relief Fund and - a sum of 100 to the Warehousemen and Clerk's Al sociatior. Manchester. AN INHOSPITABLE INTITATION.—The police of Baden have interdicted ladies of the demimonde from taking part in the public amusements of that place. The following is the text of the official notification just addressed to each of them :—" Madam,—ln consequence of a measure adopted by the Grand Ducal Minister of the In terior, and the execution of which I am charged to super intend, I find myself under the necessity of interdicting to you the conversation -rooms and the public promenade.

Foot passengers passing over the temporary bridge a Blackfriars may now see the ruins of the old stone struc ture on the one side, and trains of engines and carriages on the newly constructed railway bridge on the other—one telling of the days of the last century, when Pitt guided the destinies of the country, the other indicating the wonderful resources of engineering science of the present day. When the stone briage now in course of demolition was completed political feeling ran high, and the names of Chatham-place, Earl-street, and William-street, Blackfriars, still attest the regard which was felt for the great Minister. The bridge itself was intended to have been salted " Pitt Bridge." The engineers and contractors who have spanned the Thames at this spot will not, we fear, have any honour done to their genius and enterprise such as that which the great States man received, and there will be no Cubitt-street cr Pete place to hand down to posterity the names of those who, in a marvellously short period, have built the new Blackfriars. bride. Engineering science can point to no greater feat than that performed in the completion of this bridge across the Thames in little more than twelve months. The first stone of the abutment on the Surrey side was laid on the 2d of May in last year ; the bridge, so ftr as its con struction is concerned, was completed on the 2.10 f June this year, ballasting, laying the rails, painting, and fixing the decorations only remaining to be done, and even these might have been accomplished had there been any necessity for finishing them before the viaduct was complete to Ludgate hill. The bridge is Mit in length, including abut ments, and the river is crossed by 5 spans of iron, each 160 ft long ; two of these spans laid side by side from the width of the structure. The mode of building was by cons . ructing what is eddied an American truss—that is, a powerful lattice-work of timber, floored at the bottom, and strong enough to bear a load of three tons per lineal foot. This was built with its ends resting just below the heads of the iron piers to support the permanent iron girders. Upon this staging of timber the iron bridge was put together. The main girders were first proceeded with, then the broad iron plates of the bottom were placed on beams of timber sufficiently thick to admit of the lower plates of the girders being a short distance above the top, or heads, of the supporting columns. The portions of ironwork were " keyed" to each other, and stout iron angle irons at the side rivetted cn to prevent any lateral movement. When this part of the work was complete, a floor of iron was obtained on which to proceed with the building up of the cross-barred pieces, or lattice-work, of the completed spans, and which serve to resist compres sion, and also to provide for the great tensile strain to which the bridge must be subjected. So soon as all these diagonal cross bars of iron were placed in position, and an immense iron lattice side, 16 feet in height wes formed, their ends wire rivetted and secured by broad flange pieces—and when thus secured the structure was complete. It stood, it is true, upon the timber staging, or truss—but when this was removed, it was and is now perfectly self-sus• t lining. So soon as the last of the hundreds of then sends of rivets were driven the timber was knocked from under —it had done its work, and the bridge stood, sup ported only by its iron columns and abutments. The spans of iron, though to the eye they appear perfectly horizontal, still are not so. They are " cambered," as it is termed, to the extent of five inches—that is, they arched to that small extent onlyz—five inches in 160 feet. When, however, the timber staging was removed, and the 600 tons of ironwork in the span was left unsupported, the centre sunk to the extent of two inches, caused by the minute compression of the plates in the upper flange,?, but when once the structure had been thus compressed it became all the rut re rigid from the reduction of the curvature of the arch. The strain which the bridge is calculated to stand is very greatly in excess of that which can by possibility be brought upc n it by the ordinary working of the traffic. With the view of giving additional strength there is a centre girder between the two two outer latticed ones, which assiEts to carry the cross beams. This central girder is 41 feet in width, while those at the sides are only three feet wide. The " struts" are placed at intervals of four feet apart. They are bands of iron about half an inch in thickness, and vary in width from five to ten inches as the strain upon them increases. Each of them has to bear a compressive weight of three or four tons, and the lattice work between them is for the purpose of preventing their " buckling" up under the pressure. The girders which cross the bridge transversely are placed at distances of four feet to correspond with the portion of the ties and struts, and upon these again are laid longitudinal girders. By these transverse and longitudinal girders the whole floor is therefore divided into a series of square compartments et' wrought iron of great depth and strength. Above this framework of cells there is laid on a wrought iron floor, covered with asphalts, and over this again the sleepers and ballast for the roadway. At the top of the bridge are seen a number of bent or curved arches of iron stretching from one side to the other. These are placed in this position for the purpose c f preventing lateral vibra tion, and are secured to the upper flanges of the lattice gir ders. Between each pair of spans there is an open space to allow for the contraction and expansion of the span move ment, further facilitated by the iron roller frames upon which they rest. The spaces are filled up with panels of iron work, which will not prevent the slight movement caused by the extremes of the temperature of summer and winter. The supports for the bridge are the masonry abut ments on the Surrey and Middlesex sides, and four piers, each consisting of three clusters of four iron columns, which rest upon masonry rising from the bed of tho river. They have a noble appearance at high and low water, and their massive iron capitals give a suitable finish to the work. The abutments, too, ar3 peculiarly bold and imposing in their character. The iron terminals are in keeping with the other parts cf the structure. They consist of an ornamental iron scroll, beating upon it the words " London, Chatham, and Dover Railway," and the motto " Invicta," surmounted by the royal cypher and the date " 1861." The scroll includes the shield of the City of London and the arms of the coma ties through which the railway passes. The terminals above the columns are ornamented with iron bosses. The founda tions of the piers, as we have explained on previous occa sions, were formed by sinking iron caissons an average of 28 feet below the bed of river. This work has been carried out ith so much care that no subsidence has taken place in any of the piers since they were completed. The bridge has been built from the designs furnished by Mr Cubitt, the engineer of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway; the contrac - tors for the building were Messrs. Peto and Co. The first engine, with a long train of carriages attached, passed on Tuesday, half way across the new bridge towards the northern side. The train was accompanied by Mr Thomas, the resident manager, and Mr G. Sharp, inspector of works. The levels were taken before the starting of the train, and it was found that only the slightest deflection had taken place. Another month wll elapse before the whole of the permanent way of the brilge will bs ready for exa minatbn by the Governm lit Inspector, and the passenger station, to be called the " Ludgate Station," now building in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, will be ready for tho public accommodation. The principal object of testing the southern half of the bridge has been to enable the managers of the line to shunt the trains from the Blaekfriars Station, — Railway Neu's. METROPOLITAN ORNITHOLOGY.—It is more espe_ daily in the early morning in spring and summer that the wanderer through the streets may best form an idea of the extent to which the practice of keeping singing-birds and poultry prevails in particular districts of London. There, amid the closely-built and pent-up houses, in warm sunny weather, may be heard the warbling of thousands of larks, blackbirds, thrushes, and others ; whilst from back yards, from areas, and even from cellars, come the crowing of cocks, and other noises proper to the farmyard. In the very densest and poorest quarters of, London, in the most dingy streets, there may be seen poultry, including ducks and geeee, the two last of which, in the hot summer days, look truly miserable objects. In parts of Islington, however, and elsewhere, better accommodation, in the shape of yards of considerable extent, is provided for these bipeds. Many of the enclosures are hidden from the general view by blocks of houses, but they frequently boast of tall and spreading trees, remnants of bygone days, when the surrounding space was still open country. They are likewise often pro. vided with duck ponds, supplied by the natural springs which yet exist in parts of Islington and Pentonville Ducks, geese, lind other poultry are hero reared in consi derable numbers, and with tolerable success; but they are rather noisy neighbours, particularly at break of day. In one of the streets of Mayfair— not in itself an important street, yet containing a few good houses—the writer has had opportunities of observing a cloak of poultry, eight hens and 'a cock, which every day wander about, exactly as they might do in a farm-yard. • One evening, passing through the street, he saw a single ben suddenly vanish, as it were, into the bosom of the earth, and on com ing up to the spot, he found it was the last of the flock which had at that moment dropped through an aperture in a grating which covered a small area in front of the house. Here, a common hen-ladder descending in the area ex plained how this little herd of poultry was kept ; namely, in a cellar under the carriage-way, whence, of course, the cock is heard sounding his De Profundis at all the proper morning hours.—Chambers's Journal. The colonelcy of the 18th Hussars has become vacant by the death of Lieutenant-General Byam, but neither as regards that regim nt or the BuTs, which, as we mentioned last week, is also vacant - , has any step been taken to select a new colonel. "With the exception of Sir A. Clarke Kennedy, no lino cavalry colonel has died since March, IS6I, and the vacancy caused by his death was given to Lieut.. Gen. J. Bloomfield Gough, whose claims were indisputable on the score of long and distinguished service in the field. Of the existing cavalry generals, none of the seniors have seen active service in the field. At the head of the list is Sir Charles O'Dornsll, who has served abroad; but the next batch—Lieutenant-Gencrals Lord Rosslyn, Hall, and nankey—wo believe have been en- ' gaged only on home service. Lord do Thos may be sup posed to have been rewarded for his military service by the Deputy Lieutenancy of the Tower, which he has held for some time, and until we go so me way down among the major-generals we do not light upon any striking claims ou the ground of good service. In the absencii of any among the seniors, it may be fairly conjectured that Sir Charles 0 Donnell, who has often exhibited a most soldierly anxiety to serve on the field, is likely to have the 18th Hussars.—"lnny and Hazy Gazttee. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. MEXICO. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) NEW YORK, SEPT. 9, Evening. Despatches from Matamoras to the 24th ultimo, published in the New York papers, state that Cartinss had defeated the French with heavy loss at Victoria City. CJrtin - ts was marching to do. fend Matamoros. The French had landed at the mouth of the Rio Grande to operate against Matamoras. A Mutinous Volunteer Corps. The martial enthusiasm of the Rochdale Volunteer Rifle Corps found expression on Saturday last in cne of tile most extraordinary, and probably the most scandalous, scenes yet witnessed in connection with what is called the great Volunteer Army of England. Under the command of Major Fishwick and Capt. and Adjut ant El r i ngton, the corps, 204 At strong, that day attended the gener a l county rev i ew of sp e e volunteers torfG e n held a atof Volunteers. Manchester by Col. M'M ur d o, t h e I n- A the close of th e rev i ew the corps were marched from the ground to a public-house in Manchester for refreshment. Here they were kept for upwards of two hours; during these two hours the Cricketers' Inn—the name of the public-house —was t h e scene of the most disgracefully riotous dissipation. These two hours . were spent in shcuting, brawling, drinking, quarreling, intermingled with coarse snatches of song and orders for " summut to sup," amateur experiments on the drum and trombone, blowing out the gas with caps, apply kg lighted matches to cartridges, See. Why the men were marched to a public•house at all, why they were kept there di inking two hours, why their arms were not " piled," and why they were permitted to keep a large quantity of am munition in their pouches, are questions which the officers of the corps can best explain. We merely note them at present as facts requiring explanation by the officers. We are assured that the rill a were to be seen lying about in all parts of the house—on the tables, under the tables, under ihe benches of the tap r, om and parlour, on the staircase, in the bar—in fact, they were scattered about in every par cf the house. Not content with turning the Cricketers Inn inside out, as the phrase is, many of the more gallant spirited of this gallant corps created a little special diver sion for their companions in arms by their flirtations iu the street with every pretty girl who happened to Le passing. Of course these gallantries soon led to worse scenes, over which we willingiy draw a veil. About 9 o'clock 'he bugle sounded the "assembly," and the men literally fell into the ranks, some staggering drunk,some without rifles,some with women on their arms, some bringing three or f cur rifles and the in struments of the band. Search was made for the missing bandsmen and volunteers. They could nowhere be found, and the corps were marched in sixes and sevens to the sta tion. As the train, a special, quitted the Manchester station one of the volunteers fired off his rifle out of the carriage window. This was the signal for the rest of the corps, and throughout the journey of nearly half-an-hour a brisk run ning fire was kept up, varied by an occasional attempt at an impromptu feu de joie. At the Bluepits Station a number of passengers were nearly frightened out of their wits by being fired at in a volley by a carriage full of relies. Ono of the ordinary passengers informs us that the men in the next compartment amused themselves by firing their ratnrods at the partition as a curious experiment in mechanics, and that the cracking of the rifles right and left out of the car riage windows was diversified by the experiments of ama teurs on the trombone, and by hideous yellings and cat calls by way of accompaniment. As soon as the train arrived at the Rochdale Station, the commandant of the corps, Major Ffshwick, took possession of the door of the carriage which he apparently believed contained the most reckless spirits among his troops, and had their names taken down by the orderly sergeant, A number of the rest, escaping from the carriages the instant the train stopped, rushed through the station gates and escaped. Several of them were brought back, vi ct armis, after a hot chase, by the adjutant and forced into the ranks. As soon as the scattered remnants of the troops wore got together by the officers, they were ordered to march to their head-quarters. The band—Dl rather so much of the band as remained and were able to play their instruments—struck up what we are told was probably intended for " See the conquering hero comes!' and this gallant corps of volunteers was marched to Summer Castle. Here they were formed up in close columns, about a quarter past 11, and addressed by the ad jutant, Capt Elrington, and Major Fishwick. We have re ceived several versions of the speeches of these gentlemen, all agreeing in their general outline. Adopting that ‘,vhich seems, from the character of our corresponlont and from the rest of the reports to bo the most corect—A.djutant Elrington and Major Fishwick subsequently addressed the men and characterised their conduct as disgraceful in th e highest de,gree.—Rochdale Observer.

THE KABTLE AND THE ARAB.—The Arab is lithe and slender in figure, and generally of au aquiline cast of countenance; the K tbyle is squarely and sturdily built, rather broad faced, and with a nose of the typo which is described as " ordineire" on a French passport. The normal state of the Arab is that of a wanderer and a dweller in tents: he has no instinctive attachment to the soil, and when he does take to a settled lice, it is as it were under protest; contenting himself with an unsubstantial and flimsy dwelling, and bestowing no more labour on the ground than is required to raise him a scanty crop of barley. The Kabyle, on the other hand, clings as tightly to his rocks as a limpet.; he builds himself a comfortable, rub stantial house, with stone walls and a tiled roof, and changes the rough mountain side into a rich garden. The Arab hates labour and has few manufactures ; the Kabyle is industrious, and a clever handicraftsman, especially in the working of metals. The Arab lies freely and objeetlessly, and pilfers for the love of pilfering ; his statement is value less, except as a means of arriving at the truth by a kind of inductive process. The Kabyle, as a general rule, tells the truth, and unless you are at enmity with him respects your property' He will make a hard bargain with you, but, once made, he will keep to it ; unlike the Arab, who, if you leave him a loophole, will wriggle out through it. With strangers there is a mixture of shyness and obsequiousness in the Arab's behaviour ; while about the Kabyle there is an unmistakable air of independence and self-reliance, as if he did not much care what you thought about him, In short, there is little or nothing of the Asiatic about the K.abyle. Even his Mahomedanism is of an unoriental cast. Though he does not deny the lawfulness of polygamy, ho considers that on the whole a man ought to be content Nt.ith one wife, and admits the woman to be a perfectly rational being quite fit to be entrusted with her liberty, deserving of social equality, and not born to do more than her fair share of the work of the household. His form of govern ment is essentially democratic ; the Amin, who corresponds generally to the sheikh among the Arabs, is elected by the universal suffrage of his village. The Amins of all the vil lages of a tribe form its parliament ; and one of the num ber, elected by themselves, acts as the chief of the whole tribe—the head magistrate in peace, and commander of the forces in war. The tribes, again, bind themselves tege thor by a "soff," or league, offensive and defensive; ao that, as General Daumas says, "politically speaking, the Kabyle is a kind of savage Switzerland." It is to this federal organisation of the tribes that he, as well as Jules Gerard, traces the origin of the nam e, which in its A rabic form of K'bail signifies nothing more than The Tribes.
